PATIENTS SATISFIED WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
A recent study documented that 80-90% of chiropractic patients suffering with sciatic leg pain said that they were “very satisfied” with their care, particularly with the thorough examination, understandable communication and information about the symptoms and prognosis as well as well-defined expectations about the treatment and its helpfulness. (1) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is here to satisfy and surpass your expectations of care! We have published papers to support our treatment like this one that described how patients suffering with leg pain in addition to back pain got better to the same degree that low back pain alone patients did with an exercise and education program. (2) We urge our sciatic leg pain patients to not despair! There is hope for relief of pain with our chiropractic treatment plan that offers the best of nutrition, exercise and spinal manipulation with The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. As a matter of fact, a new case report was just published and available on PubMed and in the Frontiers of Integrative Medicine journal for you to read that described a case of a patient with left leg pain that extended into the foot who was told he would have to have spinal surgery yet decided to undergo carefully monitored, gentle force-applied, chiropractic Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and exercise to get relief of his discogenic sciatica.

TIP OF THE MONTH: Stretch Hamstrings to Help Sciatic Leg Pain
Lumbar radiculopathy (pain that radiates down the leg via a spinal nerve root) really messes with its sufferers’ quality of life. Also known as sciatic leg pain, lumbar radiculopathy defies its sufferers to really get to know their condition so that they can manage it best, not fear doing everyday motions, and better take care of themselves. (4) Often this starts with just a simple exercise like hamstring stretching. A review of 344 randomized control trials that tested the effectiveness of hamstring stretching exercise found that it reduces pain intensity for low back pain, improves straight leg raise ability in patients with low back pain and radicular leg pain (sciatica), and boosts function for back pain patients of all sorts. (5) Let’s talk at your next Toronto chiropractic visit to Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre about the proper way to do hamstring stretching for the optimal results for you!
